Hi all, I just bought a 2015 LX with 72,000km on it and wanted to confirm a couple things before spending some money...

1. Leather Maintenance - It seems like Luxol and Leatherique are the two goto's for cleaning/conditioning. Has anyone compared them and have a preference?
2. Spacer size - I'd like to run 285 - 34's for both my stock 20's (winters) and some 18's (tundra bbs) rims. would i be ok with a 0.75" spacer or should i go up to 1". I don't really want to trim wheel studs but it would result in less trimming cutting, i would assume. Is that correct?
3. Lean in Lo - I have a bit of lean on my left side when in easy access mode. Would that be easier to address through techstream or just a sensor adjustment on the high side (if possible?)
4. Audio source - what is everyone using for an audio source. Bluetooth connection does not seem to be giving the quality of sound I'm looking for. Using memory sticks or downloading into the Lexus hard drive??
5. I had the AHC flushed at Lexus ($330 CAD) but I'm not sure they even bleed anything? Maybe just suck the reservoir while it's in low and then refill?

Thanks for all the assistance. I've been a fan of the LC ever since I saw my uncles 77 BJ40. I was leery of the LX due to the AHC but the wealth of knowledge that some of the Mud members have spent their time to provide us is amazing. Thank you all for giving all of us newbs the confidence to maintain this amazingly cool ride!

Sorry to be short but im tied up a bit with stuff at home.

Lean is “normal”, it will present itself in any instance AHC is depressurized. You can trim packer the left rear spring, or swap for two tall springs like I did. This will equalize your rear pressures and prevent your rear left shock from long term wear and tear. The more you lift the more it exacerbates this issue.

On 34s, 1” spacer is perf with factory wheels. I recommend the trd bbs forged for the LC not the tundra. Front apron and airdam have to go, and front rear mudguards need shaping. Thats about it for fitment.

Im an interior detail geek, the BEST leather treatment company period in my experience is ColourLock. For the LX leather get the gentle kit.

Dealer didnt do s*** to AHC, i would ask for proof of full flush for that kind of money or redo it at home. Super easy. Lots of threads on it.

Cant comment on BT for those years.

Welcome!
